When I plug the phone into my Mac it brings up Network System Preference panel with a new Network Connection. I assume this is worthless for data sharing? It asked for a Tele Number/Acct Name/Password.
[Vibrant General] soklean:

This could possibly be a usb tether for internet sharing.

[Vibrant General] bullale:
Seems to be a modem. Phone number is the dial-up #. Remember those?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Not necessarily a dial-up. If you put *99# in the phone number field it will activate the phone's data (2G or 3G) connection.
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
That didn't seem to do much for me. One of the problems I see is that it creates a new connection each time I plug it in. I how have 4 samsung connections in my list of network devices.
[Vibrant General] cashless:
I don't think that Samsung tested the Galaxy S on Macs at all. Not even once. I'm starting to think that the phone's whole production was rushed.
[Vibrant General] cyman777:
modem works on the mac!

If you want you can simply chose that this is a 3G modem and add your provider's APN and off you go - surfing via USB. Has the advantage that noone can (try to) connect to your WLAN and uses less power.
[HD2 General] demandarin:
Hi, im in need of some assistance. I have a new android device, the Archos 5IT. my phone is the Tilt 2. i have been unable to get my tilt 2 tethered to it thru wifi. reason being that the xda wifi router app uses adhoc mode. the archos will only see Infrastructure connections. Someone on the archos forum said the HD2 has built in a wifi tethering app that is infrastructure mode. Can someone plz direct me to that app or another wifi tethering app that uses Infrastructure mode only? also, free apps...lol thnkx in advance i figure if i download that app, ill be good, and wont have to take this device back. plus its giving me probs trying to connect thru bt also. lol FIGURES :confused:
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
If you can't find a free one, I recommend WMWifiRouter (v2 and above). It lets you connect multiple devices via Wifi (infrastructure style) and Bluetooth, as well as work as a USB modem and a USB Wifi dongle.
[HD2 General] justinzak:
If you have Omarket installed, just download "Mobile Wi-Fi Router." It works GREAT!
[HD2 General] JackMetal:
Sorry about reviving an old thread. I've been searching and trying to find this exact solution, but neither of the ones listed here are doing "Infrastructure" mode. I'm currently testing WMWifiRouter (v2.0 - build 1502, downloaded directly from their site today) and when I set up the wifi connection, it only gives an option for Ad-Hoc (or none - which is for connecting to another access-point).

Am I missing something with WMWifiRouter, or is there any other app at all that will do Infrastructure mode? I don't mind having to buy something, I just need it working. :-)

Thanks!
[HD2 General] silverwind:
Sorry if I am not clear with your issues above.

But, Winmo 6.5 in HD2, has a native wifi tethering application.

There is an option menu (in Comm Manager) to turn on the Wifi Router.

This will make your HD2 as an Access Point. It can accept 5 devices.

Cheers..
[HD2 General] tuen:
Yes but only in adhoc mode, not in infrastructure mode, which appears to be needed for connecting some devices like psp and my new HTC flyer!
[HD2 General] total noob:
Same problem with GT 10.1 and HTC HD2

I have the wifi router program but it's not working with my galaxy tab 10.1, how can i tell if its adhoc or infrastructure signal?
[HD2 General] 14theroad:
Hi, I am researching this as well, and here is what I have found so far.

1. Android does not currently support/connect to ad-hoc WiFi, only Infrastructure mode.

2. If your Android tablet device can not see the WiFi from your phone hotspot but a PC Can, then it is probably ad-hoc, as my WinMo HTC HD2 is.

3. I have an Asus Transformer tablet with Android 3.1 and this can not see my WiFi from the WiFi hotspot settings, but my PC can see it and connect to the HD2.

4. If there is an Android ROM for your phone, (XDA Forums) that will run from the SD card, you can boot into that and use the WiFi hotspot (Tethering) from the Android ROM. This seems to work fine on my setup.

Hope this helps

:)
[HD2 General] eibhis:
really would rather not root if at all possible

since i live in fear of ending up with a very expensive brick (by messing up rooting my xoom) - has anyone come up with a way to make the winmo htc hd2 send out an infrastructure wifi signal?
[HD2 General] ggraysonlv:
Simple answer is no. Winmo 6.5 will not do infrastructure wifi hotspot, no matter whether native Winmo app or a 3rd party app (i.e., WMWifirouter). You're going to have to do what I'm doing with my HD2. Go thru the learning process of installing an Android build on your SD card, and then boot into Android. You've very little risk of bricking the HD2 if you read carefully and follow the guides. [However, these guides are definitely written by geeks, not editors who write and re-write to be explicitly clear.] Supposedly, the Android Wifi router is infrastructure, but I've not yet gotten to that point in my own process. The first one I tried to install (AmeriCanAndroid) didn't complete booting up successfully, so I tried another Android build (MIUI), but in it I'm not finding a wifi tethering app. And, in it, the Market app is crashing. So, I'm now on the search for a 3rd Android build. The payoff is big (wifi tethering to my Viewpad 7 tablet), so I persevere. Good luck to you on your journey.

[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
I have a stock X10i on R2BA020 and I want to connect to the wifi in my univeristy. But according to the tech people there, I need proxy settings to login. Thats why they said apparently, BB users cant connect to the wifi there because with BB you cant set a proxy. My question is... Is there anyway to get a proxy for the x10 without rooting it? like a certain app or anything I can download to get some sort of proxy on the phone? or is it a weakness of Android in general?

So the only viable workaround is the app that tricks your browser but you arent allowed to use any of the apps, youtube etc?

thanks for your help! :D

On that thread you have to find the start menu icon you want then download the zip file that has the icon in it. In the zip files are the corresponding cabs to install. Then you copy the selected cab to your device and run it.

[G1 General] itsjefflol:
So recently I went and bought a g1 with a cracked screen because I had sold my custom mytouch to pay a ticket (I'm 17, money gets tight) and wanted to do a different housing like I did with my mytouch so I bought a green one off of ebay from hongkong. I just recently got it finished up with everything working and wanted to know if anyone else has actually done this with one of the knockoff colored housings? I searched google and couldn't find any other pictures, and it came out pretty good for a first attempt in my opinion so I figured I'd share.

ahh I meant pictures installed lol, and thanks
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
I've been thinking of replacing the housing on my myTouch (the day warranty ends, mind you, not wasting that!). Might get pink for my fiancee in case she ever wants it (she likes old flip phones that do nothing but text and call :P) but for me, its going to have to be black.

Glad you showed me there's colors, though. Thank you! I might get a yellow or something and paint designs on it. Now that would be awesome.
[G1 General] itsjefflol:
I'm not sure which mytouch you're talking about doing but I did the one without a headphone jack and the only way it would fit together was without this piece on the back that was for the antenna that I had to replace with copper wire lol, but amazingly after that I NEVER had less than three bars, crazy for tmobile around here. Oh and the little hole at the bottom for the mic was on the wrong side, I had to drill a new one. With the G1 I had no fitment issues but yeah when I did the mytouch the housing was actually for an HTC magic because there were none for the mytouch when I did it. So if you run into any issues when you decide to do it let me know because as far as I know there are no tutorials
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
Yes, it's the old one without the headphone jack.HTC Magic/ION/myTouch 3g are EXACTLY the same. The problems resulted from the manufacturer of the new housing being a complete moron, lol. Its probably going to be a while until I try, like I said, I want my warranty. :P
[Captivate General] KENYONB:
Just got my Captivate yesterday, and I am having a few issues with some (what I thought were) basic functions on a smartphone:

1. How can I change the font size?

2. How can I separate the email acocunts (non-Gmail acocunts)?

3. How can I use a different signature for each email account? (it seems that "Email" groups all accounts and uses just one signature)

4. How do I move emails to folders in Exchange?

5. Is there a built in alarm clock?

6. How can I get the browser auto-wrap text like Opera?

7a. Are some of these above features disabled or tweaked because of Samsung's own UI?

7b. If so, after root, will these options come back? or become available?

after root, can you just remove the Samsung UI?

any helps would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.
[Captivate General] 12az09:
I'm in the same boat you are, and I'm sure we're not the only ones.

5. alarm clock is accessible via the Clock application

6. double-tapping the screen will wrap the browser text on most pages. This hasn't been consistent for me though.
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
As far as moving to folders, I've only used one Android phone that allowed this. It was the BackFlip and it only had the option because it is using a custom exchange client. All the Android phones using the built-in client (even though the Captivate is customized) seem to be missing this option.
[Captivate General] Drachen:
1. I don't think you can change the font size. Samsung has some pay-ware fonts available and the method I used to change fonts on my N1 required root and was a global change. I'm sure it would screw up the UI if you did. If it's a specific application, maybe you could look for alternative apps in the market that can, like using K9 instead of mail for email.

2. Hit menu > accounts and you should see a list plus a combined inbox.

3. Be glad you have a signature. The stock Android 2.1 mail doesn't even have that! It doesn't sync calendar items either. That's two things this mail software has over stock Android.

4. No idea. Seems like a stupid omission since you can see all your folders at the top.

7a. Yes. It's a Samsung-specific mail program.

7b. No. Look on the market for other options. A coworker likes Touchdown, but it's a $20 program.
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
I have a Droid and now the Captivate. I previously had a backflip. The Droid and Captivate are using the standard google exchange client. The Captivate has skinned the client to some extent but the menu and options are the same as the Droid. The BackFlip has a custom exchange client with unique UI and options. The BackFlip has a move to folder option as well.

As stated, TouchDown is an option for anyone looking for full Exchange support. It will even sync notes and tasks. But, the contact syncing with TouchDown is a little hodgepodge and requires manual intervention. You will basically have to manually sync your contacts to the phone every time you add contacts in exchange.
[Captivate General] KENYONB:
5. found the clock and have my alarm set up. thanks.

6. same with me. some sites work, some don't.
[Captivate General] KENYONB:
LOL. the Backflip was one phone i never considered getting, yet it seems to have the best Exchange experience out of the box?

this is such a basic email feature I still can't believe it isn't included... and I still can't believe it's not butter.
[Captivate General] KENYONB:
2. i was able to get into just the one mailbox, but was hoping by separating it I could get the separate signature.

3. another feature so basic it seems ridiculous it is omitted.
[Captivate General] KENYONB:
TouchDown is nice. I was using it on my TouchPro 2 with XDAndroid.

however, it is slow as hell on the Captivate. I read somewhere on XDA someone mentioned moving the DB to the SD card, because of the whole lag issue due to the fact that Samsung has all apps/data installed/saved to SD card? is that right? anyway, moving it to SD card helps, A LOT.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LanceLet:
I'm running Fresh Toast 2.1 on my Hero CDMA, and I was able to view pictures and videos until I moved them with a file explorer (ES File Explorer and Astro). The pictures will display when I take a new camera shot, but the files already on the SD card are not showing up. The Fresh Toast 2.1 comes with apps2sd. I believe things will get very screwy if I unmount the SD card, and the solution to this problem I believe is to remount the SD card so it repopulates the Album list.

My question is, what is the procedure to unmount and remount the SD card with apps2SD safely (safety over time priority) OR is there a solution out there already. I have been browsing around in the Android section and the Hero section unsuccessfully. Let me know if there's a way to fix this other than bluetoothing all my pictures to myself from an old phone.

[Desire General] Schmeggma:
Since we need to have the screen turned on to keep wifi/gps etc. running, and there are a few apps that would ideally run in the background with the screen off; to save battery power (and burn in?) it would be nice to have the AMOLED screen display just a black image.

Is there any app out there that just displays a black screen and maybe ignores all but a specific input?

At the moment I just zoom into a black image in the browser, but I can't put the phone in my pocket like that.

(I tried searching for this, but it was beyond my google-fu.)
[Desire General] AndroHero:
You dont have to keep the screen on to run either my gps is always on and it neva disconnects also ive spent many nights going to sleep leaving my wifi connected and its neva disconnected either :confused:
[Desire General] th3:
Yup. If you haven't set WiFi to switch off after 15mins, it should carry on running.

By doing what you proposed, you'll decrease battery life drastically as you'd effectively be disabling the chips sleep mode by keeping it running 100%. With that, only the screen switches off and everything else including Android keeps running. Any application holding a partial awake lock can achieve this.

Lock delay; an app to control the default screen-lock options allows this.

For instance, if you set the initial screen timeout to 2 minutes but standby/lock to 10 minutes in the settings, the screen will switch off after 2mins idling, but the rest of the phone will still be running incl. WiFi/GPS. You can enable a lock/pattern or no lock at all where you press any key including menu/trackpad and it'll come back on in the same place you left it, without any lock. If the phone idles for 10mins, it'll activate the screen lock and place the phone in the standard sleep mode. The max delay you can set the latter to is 24 hours.

I wouldn't advise avoiding the sleep mode unless required in specific circumstances. Battery loss will be drastic; I found out unintentionally when activating this option at the beginning.
